12 Harbor Lane, Brooksville, ME 04617

Perched on a steep bluff overlooking Orcutt Harbor with 13± private acres, this Peter Forbes designed residence melds wood and glass into an exquisite work of art. The home was designed to represent a metaphorical bridge extending from the deep woods to the rocky bluff and the ocean beyond. It combines versatile utilitarian features, stunning private realms and artistically elegant living areas in a naturally progressive layout consistent with the architect's vision. Luxurious materials combine with natural elements such as a stunning granite fireplace, and an intricate wood ceiling with curved beams creates a waterlike impression that links the home to its natural surroundings. Impressive open living areas, ideal for entertaining, are highlighted by wood cathedral ceilings in the kitchen, living and great room, and a soaring floor to ceiling wall of glass frames the spectacular view of the forest and Orcutt Harbor. The great room opens to an exterior deck that appears to float over the property and water below. A primary-bedroom suite and a guest bedroom each offer private accommodation with a bath. The property's setting features natural landscaping, and a gently sloping path leads down to 653± feet of shorefront on Orcutt Harbor. There is a deep-water dock with a ramp and float offering access to some of the most scenic and desirable boating and sailing waters on the east coast. The property is subject to a Conservation Easement that protects the natural setting while allowing for the potential construction of a guest cottage or outbuilding. Located within an easy distance to Buck's Harbor, Blue Hill and Stonington, and about a 60-minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
